Mohanlal’s much-awaited film, Drishyam 3, directed by Jeethu Joseph, had a decent second weekend at the box office, but its target of ₹250 Cr looks doubtful now. The third installment in the blockbuster franchise has been performing well, but the momentum is slowing down as it enters its third week.
Drishyam 3 Decent Second Weekend Collections
The second weekend of Drishyam 3 showed decent hold but fell short of the high expectations set by its strong opening. Here’s the current box office standing:
| Territory | Collection |
|---|---|
| All India Gross (Tracked) | ₹104 Cr |
| Worldwide Gross (Estimated) | ₹220 Cr |
| Target Milestone | ₹250 Cr |
The film’s tracked All India gross stands at ₹104 Cr, while its worldwide actual gross is estimated to be around ₹220 Cr. This puts Drishyam 3 about ₹30 Cr away from the ₹250 Cr milestone, which now appears challenging given the current trajectory.
Will Drishyam 3 Reach ₹250 Cr Mark?
The question on everyone’s mind is whether Drishyam 3 can bridge this gap in its remaining theatrical run. The film needs strong weekday holds and sustained performance in key circuits to reach the target.
There were expectations that the film would emerge as Mollywood’s new industry hit, given the massive popularity of the franchise and Mohanlal’s star power. However, with the current pace, that mark appears increasingly out of reach.
Industry Hit Record Stays With Lokah
For now, Lokah will continue to hold the industry hit record in Mollywood for some more time. The Drishyam franchise, which includes Drishyam (2013) and Drishyam 2 (2021), has been one of Malayalam cinema’s most successful series, with both earlier films achieving blockbuster status.
Drishyam 3 reunites the core team of Mohanlal and director Jeethu Joseph, who crafted the thrilling narrative that captivated audiences across India. While the film has performed well commercially, the ₹250 Cr milestone remains a tough ask as it enters the crucial third week.
